what is problem ? I have vcenter 6.5 u2

Cannot connect 'path:0/2/0/1' to this virtual machine. The device was not found.

Do you see the USB device listed when you go to edit settings ?

You can also check if you have the following line in your vmx file

usb.generic.allowCCID = "TRUE"

There's probably a stale entry in your VM configuration (vmx) file.

Please open the vmx file and see if it contains the following entry:

usb.autoConnect.device0 = "path:0/1/5"

or

usb_xhci.autoConnect.device0 = "path:0/1/5"

Above is being discussed berifly in belwo community blog :

USB "device not found error" when adding to VM - ESXi 6.5

I added usb.generic.allowCCID = "TRUE"  in vmx file and I dindt see usb.autoConnect.device0 = "path:0/1/5" and usb_xhci.autoConnect.device0 = "path:0/1/5" . the situation is still the same

do you have any other suggestions ?
